Technical field
The present invention relates to for the automatic transmission field of motor vehicles, being more particularly to in line traffic control manual transmission The method and system of neutral tow mode is provided in (shift-by-wire transmission).
Background technology
Traditional automatic transmission includes the derailleur control device of the variator for controlling motor vehicles.Transmission control Device is used for selecting multiple scopes (ranges), for example:Park, wherein variator locking are moved with stoping vehicle;Neutral, its Middle variator allows vehicle freely by movement (for example when being towed);Reverse gear shift, wherein variator allow vehicle to be moved back by Dynamic;And one or more travel gear scope, travel gear scope allow the vehicle to move forward.Generally, transmission control dress Put is to pass through mechanical connection (such as hawser or underground) in the form of connecting rod (lever) to be connected with variator.Typically, even Bar is additionally coupled to indicator.With transmission control mechanism from a scope movement to another scope, it is mechanically connected physically Variator is switched to selected setting and indicator goes to which scope display driver has selected for.Even if stopping car , driver also can determine current variator scope from indicator, and in some cases (for example when this car will be dragged When) can be by transmission control mechanism movement to neutral.
In order to carry out automatic transmission ratio (gear ratio) gearshift, traditional automatic transmission utilizes multiple friction elements.Wide Say, these friction elements can be described as moment of torsion and set up element, although more generally they are referred to as clutch or system generally Dynamic device.These friction elements run to set up the power stream from explosive motor to one group of vehicle traction wheel.Adding in vehicle Speed during, for given engine air throttle setting, with speed increase in gear ratio upshift (ratio upshift) phase Between, overall rotating ratio (the namely ratio of transmission input shaft rotating speed and transmission output speed) reduces.Give for any Determine speed and increase is set with engine air throttle, or when arranging reduction speed decline with engine air throttle, occur Downshift is to reach higher rotating ratio.It is found that multiple planetary gear structures in Modern Automatic Transmissions.However, shifting power The basic principle learned still keeps similar.The automatic transmission shift with multiple planetary gearsets along with application and/or discharges Friction element is to change speed and torque relationship and to change torque path by planetary gearsets.It is normally based on variator control The position of device processed and hydraulic pressure or mechanically drive friction element.
In line traffic control manual transmission arrangement, eliminate the mechanical connection between derailleur control device and variator. On the contrary, derailleur control device sends the signal of telecommunication to electronic controller along electric wire (wire), the independent driver of its instruction To apply or to discharge multiple friction elements thus obtaining desired gear ratio.Control device is no longer necessary to deposit in the form of connecting rod Because control device no longer mechanically moving connects to control variator.On the contrary, control device is usually and is used for order variator A series of electro-mechanical interface (for example, buttons, connecting rod or knob) of switching between transmission range.Generally using by vehicle On battery provide the present scope to indicate variator for the electronic displayss of electric power and this display must be opened, from And need to draw which scope electric power has selected in order to make driver know.
